Abstract
An electronic component is provided which includes external electrodes having a multilayer structure of first and second sintered electrode layers that are densely sintered and have less possibility of causing poor appearance and decreased reliability in electrical connection. The external electrodes include a first sintered electrode layer and a second sintered electrode layer containing different metals. The first and second sintered electrode layers contain a borosilicate glass containing an alkali metal.
Claims12
